Outlook question - prob VV simple!

[Tyre Smoke]

How can I delete all the emails in my spam folder in one go?

I've tried the obvious, mark all then delete but this seems to do nothing except ask me if I want to delete the folder which cannot be undone, apparently.

Right click on the folder - empty folder

[Dr_Rick]

Assuming its the official Junk Email folder, right click it in the Table of Contents on the left hand side and you'll se an option for Empty Junck Email Folder. Left click and you're done.

Thanks chaps

Eta: Err, no. No empty folder option.

Open, Find, New Folder, Rename, Delete, Hide, Sync Settings and Properties.

Can't work out how to do a screen print either so can't really show you.

FWIW same principle for deleted items

Just do a CTRL-A whilst in the folder and it'll highlight all messages then just press delete.

I'm not aware of a "Delete all" option in any version of Outlook, at least not with Exchange.

Nope, just asks if I want to delete the folder, not it's contents.

No, and how do you do that?

[LordGrover]

As above, just right click the junk e-mail folder...

No, the screen shot!

[LordGrover]

Ah. To get the pop-up I had to capture the whole screen using the good ol' Prt Scr key then cropped it.

Click once on first item in junk email so that it is highlighted (usually blue) CTRL A then SHIFT DEL

Hold Alt and hit Print Screen - that'll capture just the active window - no cropping required!

Won't capture right-click pop-ups though.

Ah, sorry!

Thanks chaps, I'll give it a go when I get some spam.
